    I like to be efficient with my time, why do one thing easily at a time when you can do 10 things at once and nearly kill yourself with stress :rolleyes: :D

    I watched Despicable Me a couple of weeks ago. Was only vaguely aware what a minion was before then

    It was part 2 I saw I think. The one where they all turn evil which was exactly like an episode of the smurfs I saw many years ago.

    I wasn't blown away with the Minions movie. I'm not sure that they can carry a whole film themselves. Also, there wasn't enough Corgis.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    Another baby. Otherwise not a hell of a lot :)

    Got an invitation from someone to go to the US to try out bow hunting in the forest. Playing with the idea of doing that now.

    My parents used to have corgis, we had 4 running around the place at one stage. In total I think we had 9 over all, but not sure, lost count of them :D

    Have we not seen Deliverance people??? Bow hunting is dangerous. Especially around the Apallachians.

    Not your thing? :) I think I mentioned to someone a few times I have always wanted to try it - and I think I dropped enough hints. He wants to take me out to try it. He gets a lot of meat out of it. One kill can produce meet for quite a period of time.

    Ah I loved when Bill Bryson came back from there saying that he was told how to avoid bears.

    He was told the first thing you do is buy little bells that you can hang off your clothing so the bears can hear you coming and avoid you.

    Then to help you avoid them in turn you can watch out for their poo to identify areas where they are. The way to identify bear poo is that they are usually full of these tiny little bells - - -

    Joe Rogan vibes, though it is better than going to a supermarket all told. You'd want to have a big freezer tax I'd say.

    I'm trying to eat more plant based / vegetarian (because I love eggs) for the next while, between that and the attempted beard growing I'm a walking caricature I know but still....trying new things.


    Edit - Jesus, haven't heard Bill Bryson mentioned in an age, used to love his stuff

    Jaysus, time to tie a knot in it methinks.

    Yeah I'm sure it does, just Americans, weapons, and hunting gives me the shivers. As many are responsible gun/hunting bow owners with proper training, it only takes one trigger happy idiot to cause havoc.

    Minions can get fcuked tbh.

    I now have two kids, 2 and a half and 15 months so busy with that. Changed job in the summer and went back working with a general insurer in an auditing consultant capacity. I love it, my manager is super sound, I'm out on calls usually once a week. Enrolling in compliance exams in January so between that, work and kids life will be pretty hectic, it's all good though.

    Well since I do Jujitsu as well and occasionally dabble in mind altering substances - it would not be the first time I have been mentioned in the same breath as Rogan. I am not at all funny though - so you won't be catching me doing stand up like he does.

    As for the meat - it will be kept by the guy showing me the ropes. I am there for the experience. He can keep what we kill.

    4 is and always has been the plan. So not quite done yet :) Think there will be some appointments for snippings to be done shortly after that though. Hoping the next one is a son though because the male:female in the house at the moment is 2:4 so if it goes 2:5 I am giving up on life.

    Yeah I would not do it alone or with an amateur. Only with someone who is well trained well experienced and entirely responsible. I just got lucky to get into a lot of contact with someone who knows his stuff. Trained Park Ranger type.

    Same with rifles which I have had some fun learning about recently with my daughter here in the midlands of Ireland. A friend who is very experienced and responsible has been letting us try it out a bit. Would not do that myself either or just amble up to the first person who wants to let me hold his gun (ooo-errr).

    They're my favourite. Used to know a neighbour with 2 in Brighton. I tried to work up the temptation to ask if I could walk them but I lacked the nerve.

    Lucky you.

    Opportunity missed for sure - never too late all the same, I'm signed up with a dog charity to walk dogs for them which is great. The hours aren't exactly great but I have flexi time with work so I can make it work if I work from home. Haven't made it in nearly a year but going back to it next Tuesday for sure as it's hugely rewarding.

    You definitely should volunteer at an animal shelter. Very rewarding way to spend your free time. Even a few hours a month makes a huge difference
